Elizabeth Olsen has been in front of cameras innumerable times, and still never once failed to deliver some really epic performances. This, obviously, especially includes her time as the Scarlet Witch in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, during which she also pretty much whooped up Thanos’ butt in one of the most fan-favorite scenes of Avengers: Endgame to date.

This “something” was actually the actress’s sexy dancing with Winona Ryder while promoting a brand. This clip notably came a year before the 2019 blockbuster masterpiece itself, but it has been topping the iconic scene nonetheless.
Elizabeth Olsen Once Iconically Danced with Winona Ryder
Back in 2018, Olsen was seen in one of the most unexpected yet perfect pair-ups as she got herself ready to promote H&M’s Spring Season collection of the year along with multiple other stars. This is because her pair-up was with none other than the commendably dramatic two-times Oscar-nominated Golden Globe winner, Winona Ryder.

So was the quintessence theme of this campaign as well, which flawlessly featured and promoted H&M’s upbeat spring collection in store for the new season in the video by H&M on YouTube.
For this very campaign, Elizabeth Olsen was seen pulling off perfectly enjoyable moves with other women before Ryder stepped onstage and took her hand. To say the least, the WandaVision actress looked almost as if she was caught in the moment as she let her body, expressions, and herself as a whole move perfectly in sync with the music.

Back then, not only did she slam piles of boulders on top of him but also broke his weapon before clutching him and ripping his protective gear off mercilessly as he struggled under the excruciating pain.
If anything, if the Mad Titan hadn’t called to rain fire from his ships looming above in Avengers: Endgame, he probably wouldn’t have been spared from Wanda in this iconic turn of events. But while the onscreen performances for both of these gigs were delivered perfectly by the actress, the behind-the-scenes drama was a whole differently appeasing affair for her.

For one, meeting with Ryder to work their roles for the campaign was one of the most exciting parts for her. As she shared in a behind-the-scenes interview (via H&M on YouTube):
When Winona got here, it was just like meeting an icon from my life.
As for the entire experience of working in a campaign that celebrated womanhood and feminism perfectly, Olsen told H&M Group: “It was such a thrill to be in Buenos Aires for the H&M Spring campaign, and more importantly, to be surrounded by such a wonderful cast of strong women. The entire experience was incredibly inspiring.”
Well, for whatever it’s worth, we’re sure the Scarlet Witch enjoyed shooting this campaign even more than she enjoyed beating the Mad Titan to a pulp!
Avengers: Endgame can currently be streamed on Disney+.
